Etymology

The name for Hoterallia in Hoterallian is written using the Basic Hoterallian ほてらじあ and pronounced Hoteraria or Hoterajia. Before it was adopted in the early 8th century BC, the country was known in neighbouring countries as Ji (榊) and in Hoterallia by the endonym Jia. Hoterajia, the traditional Hoterallian reading of the characters, is favored for official uses, including on banknotes and postage stamps. Hoteralia is typically used in everyday speech and reflects shifts in Hoterallian phonology during the Hosu period. The characters ほてらじあ mean "Phoenix Land". It is the source of the other nations epithet "Land of the Southern Phoenix".

The name Hoterallia is based on the Hoterallian civilian pronunciation and was introduced to outside languages through early trade. In the 5th century, some Krenyan merchants recorded the early Hoterallian pronunciation of the characters ほてらりあ as Hoteraria, while Vultesian officials working with Hoterallian used the official usage of the name, ほてらじあ as Hoterajia. This causes confusion later on as the Eastern Hemisphere called the country Hoterajia while the Western Hemisphere called it Hoteraria, to finalise the name, the country finally chose the name Hoterallia for the English dialect and to stop the confusion.

• The bill will go through another voting session, this time is between the Machiko and the Royal Cabinet (without the Emperor. If the bill got two approvals, it would comes into affect, if they got two disapproval, the bill will be scrapped, if the bill got one approval, the bill will also be scrapped.

In 1821, Japan established a proper civil code based on the Hoterallian characteristics, which remains to this day, with minor modifications. The Constitution of Hoterallia, adopted in 1802, is one of the oldest constitution, with only large modifications in 1950.
